Transit Boot Camp is a one-day course designed to provide transit managers with an understanding of the requirements of doing business with IMD and to learn about valuable resources and tools that can be used in managing and operating a rural transit system in NC.

Attendees will gain insight into doing business with IMD as a sub-recipient of federal funds, will learn about IMD’s structure, and will be given an overview of various programs IMD supports. Learn the areas of guidance IMD can provide and key requirements to achieve and maintain compliance with Federal and State requirements. An in-depth review of the Unified Grant Application process and applying for grants will be provided. A list of resources and helpful tools will be distributed to attendees. A number of IMD’s key staff will be available and will discuss their role at IMD, the division they work in, and how that division works with NC public transit systems.

Boot Camp attendance is required prior to participation in Transit Academy 101 (TA101). TA101 is a series of 5 courses that provide an in-depth learning experience for Transit Managers.
